"Hello, Jenny? Is that you?"
"Peter…"
"I can't hear. You sound a long way off."
“Can you hear me now?"
"That's better. How was the conference? Expected you home hours ago. Getting a bit worried, you and all those male executives.”
'Peter, listen please. I don't have much time…"
"You’re not still there?
"No, I'm….."
"Oh Christ, you’ve broken down? I forgot to service your car.”
"No. I …"
"What? I'm losing you darling."
"You've already lost me Peter. Are you watching the news?"
"I'm just switching channels”
“No Peter, wait.”
"There's been a crash on the highway. Is that what held you up? One woman is dead – they’re not giving out her name until they've notified the relatives. How dreadful."
"I wanted to tell you – it wasn't your fault."
"What? Hang on, there's someone at the door."
"Peter don't go … I fell asleep at the wheel."
